My Nonprofit Reviews

My name is Brenda Campos, I am from El Salvador, I came to the U.S.A. in 2005.
I have a beautiful family, I have 2 boys, when I started coming to the Opening Word in Huntington Station my younger son was in pre-k, it was difficult for me because while my son was in school I was learning English in this program so I just had 3 hours to learn. That year was my first and I fell in love with this program, Sister Anne was my teacher, She was really adorable and patient with me and my classmates.
When I started, I spoke no English. The next year my teacher was Mrs. Jean Marie, an adorable and beautiful teacher, that year I learned a lot because I had more time to come, the volunteers were wonderful, and I can say my teacher is the best, She teaches with love.
The next year was my 3 year and my teacher was Mrs Melissa. Unfortunately that year I didn't feel well and skipped a lot of classes, because my husband and I were working in our company. Then the Pandemic started and I was sad, but thank God all of my classmates and teachers were ok.
When the zoom classes started, i thought was a great idea because a lot of students were worried and it was stressful. I think a lot of students enjoyed those classes. Unfortunately I couldn't take them, I skipped a lot because my husband got the COVID and he was working on his health.
Now everything is fantastic. I am learning a lot with my favorite teacher Jean Marie and the sister Leonor.We don't have the volunteers yet but they will come soon.
I feel really good and thankful, This program changed my life completely, I speak better and understand better too. I can say this program is wonderful.
